ABOUT HATS.
How Character IL Portrayed by thu
Different styles.

Did you ever observe, asks The ST.
Paul Globe, that mans disposition
can be read by the style of hat hi
wears and the way he wears up Not
so with woman. There is more di
versity of style in women's hats than
mems. But woman always wears hei
hair fixed up. So that woman's hal
can be no index to female character
1t is different with mon. There is a
close intimacy between the styles OF
mems headgear and the science OF
phrenology. The hat is the bump
which infallibly denotes the most
prominent trait of character. When s
man buys hat he is governed in the
select on by the peculiar organism OF
the brain. 1t doesn't make any differ.
ence whether the particular hat he Sc.
lects is becoming to him or not, he pre-
fers it because he is built that way. If
he wears an unbecoming hat he is not
respons bic for it. A man never looks
in m rror when he tries hat on. A
woman always does.
The tall silk hat denotes financial
ability. Bankers, hotel clerks, and
police reporters always wear silk hats.
Rich men do not always wear silk hats,
nor are men who wear silk hats always
rich. Still, the silk hat is an uncrr nc
sign of capacity for handling finances
successfully. 1t isn't every man who
possesses financial ability that gets rich,
nor is IL every man who gets rich that
possesses skill in iinancering. Not br
jug full. We state this that the
public mind may not get confused on
these points.
The derby hat denotes energy. A
man who wears derby always has
the appearance of being on the 80. Il
is n ready for-all-occasion hat. 1t is at
home whether at church or on the
baseball grounds. The derby is mob
BY little cross between the silk and the
SLOUGH. 1t is an accommodation hat
The Clergyman looks well in it, aud it
fits the bartender to at. And all
the time it has n pushing go.ahcadi'
tiveness in its appearance that makes
everything side-switch when the derby
passes by.
And then there is the SLOUGH hat.
All, there is the hat of liberty for you.
The SLOUGH hat is the original old com.
moner. 1t is the hat for the masses
democratic in style and republican in
its simplicity. There is nothing that
symbolizes pure unadulterated Amer
canism so well as the SLOUGH hat The
SLOUGH hat denotes sociabiity. 1t j:
the unfailiag index of genial temporal
iment. 1t means that the wearer is a
good fellow that will do TO tie to. He
may be bank president or he may be
cowboy, still you can rely on his
being hale companion wherever you
meet him. possessing sturdy independ.
encc of character, and always ready
to extend helping hand wherever it
Is needed.
The man who wears h hat perpen
dicularly. whether il is a IT, II de;Dy
or slonch. has the bump OF se!fes
TEEN we'll developed. He thinks that
hc is the upper crust of the pie and is
entitled to recognition. The man who
wears his hat down over the forehead
is thoughtful man. Hc is studious
and communes with himself great
deal, and sometimes inclined to morose
ness.
But the man who wears his hat on
the back of his head is the ono who
doesn't care whether school keeps or
not. He is independent and sclf-reli-
ant, and ono day is with him as anoth-
er. He takes note Of neither time nor
individuals. He is usually popular
because he is always generous. Sailors
and soldiers and jockeys and baseball
players are not included in this classi-
